1956 Map of Alpine

About this map

The Mystic Lake Hydroelectric Plant stands as a focal point of industrial infrastructure amidst the high-altitude terrain of the Custer National Forest during the mid-1950s. This survey, conducted just after the war years, documents a landscape defined by its glacial features and water resources, from the Snowbank Glacier and Phantom Glacier to the expansive Red Lodge Creek Plateau. The distribution of high lakes such as East Rosebud Lake, Timberline Lake, and Sylvan Lake illustrates the hydraulic network essential for both natural drainage and power generation at the headwaters of West Rosebud Creek.
